Notes, tips, and variations

Use buttermilk instead of milk, or wholegrain flours instead of white. This will change the consistency of the final product (i.e. whole grain flours generally lead to a denser heavier pancake, so try mixing white and wheat in various proportions as suggested above to get the feel you want).

Add sliced fruit such as banana and apple, or broken crispy bacon to the batter after pouring into the skillet and before flipping.

Banana-Spirulina Pancakes (Vegan)

This is a recipe for Banana-Spirulina Pancakes that makes about 5-6 large pancakes (serves two people well).

Do not whisk, beat, or otherwise try to mash out all of the batter lumps. You will end up with tough, flat, and ugly pancakes. Keep a light hand, and your pancakes will remember by yielding fluffy results.

Gently toss in the bananas and stir them just to coat in the batter.

Heat up the non-stick pan and spray evenly with oil.

Using a 1/3 cup measure as a scoop, dip into the batter and pour evenly into the skillet. Watch your heat carefully, you want it on medium-hot (don't burn them).

When bubbles begin to form in the middle of the pancake, and the edges look somewhat set, give it another spray of oil.

Immediately, flip over.

Cook for another minute or so, then remove the pancake, and put it in the toaster oven on warm (Or find some way of keeping it warm while you finish off the batter).
